Install
-------
Run the setup program and accept the defaults (all categories).
This will install the OpenSSH server and client in an appropiate place.
Configuration
-------------
1. Open a command prompt and change to the installation directory (Program Files/OpenSSH is the default).
2. CD into the bin directory.
3. Use mkgroup to create a group permissions file. For local groups, use the "-l" switch. For domain groups, use the "-d" switch.
For both domain and local, it is best to run the command twice (remember to use >>, not >). If you use both, make sure to edit the file to remove any duplicate entires.
mkgroup -l >> ../etc/group (local groups)
mkgroup -d >> ../etc/group (domain groups)
4. Use mkpasswd to add authorized users into the passwd file. For local users, use the "-l" switch. For domain users, use the "-d" switch.
For both domain and local, it is best to run the command twice (remember to use >>, not >). If you use both, make sure to edit the file to remove any duplicate entires.
mkpasswd -l [-u <username>] >> ../etc/passwd (local users)
mkpasswd -d [-u <username>] >> ../etc/passwd (domain users)
NOTE: To add users from a domain that is not the primary domain of the machine, add the domain name after the user name.
NOTE: Ommitting the username switch adds ALL users from the machine or domain, including service accounts and the Guest account.
5. Start the OpenSSH server.
net start opensshd
6. Test the server. Using a seperate machine as the client is best. If you connect but the connection immediately gets dropped, reboot the machine with the server and try connecting again.
